Sessums News:
Autism Awareness Week at Sessums: Thank you students and staff for
participating last week in Autism Awareness. Our goal is for students and
staff to learn more about specific disabilities and grow in our knowledge
and understanding about Autism. Here is a brief timeline of laws created
to support exceptional students: In 1975, The Education for All Handi-
capped Children Act is passed, providing for free and appropriate public
education, individualized education plans, due process hearings, and edu-
cation in the least restrictive environment possible. In 1997, The Individu-
als with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes individuals with brain
injury and autism with procedural safeguards, early intervention, pre-
school services, and teacher training. Florida legislators enact Disability
History and Awareness Weeks, beginning in October 2008. April became
Autism Awareness Month. Most recently in 2008, The Higher Education
Opportunity Act expands eligibility for Pell Grants and other need-based
aid for students with intellectual disabilities to pursue postsecondary edu-
cation.

We are here to serve you & your children! Office hours are Monday-Friday 7:10am— 3:30 pm.
I CHOOSE TO LIVE BY THE GOLDEN RULE – I choose to treat others as I would wish to be treated in the same situation. I choose to be honorable and respectful of myself & others.
